"On the front end, they treat the water prior to it going to the reverse osmosis plant," explained Trevor Sutter, manager of communications for Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC)--Saskatchewan region. "What essentially his process employs is a bunch of mineral-eating bugs that go through the water. They exist in the filtration system and the bugs basically distill the water. And then it's put into the treatment plant for further treatment. Apparently this process works fairly well. It's an interesting process because the tests that have been done on the water show it's very good, very good water.""The one good thing about it is that when you turn the taps on, it doesn't smell. You can't smell it anymore. And it's clear water. The other water was always coloured. Sometimes it was a light colour, sometimes dark. It all depended on what day it was I guess. So it wasn't very good water."See the full content of this document
